Thanx man...

One more thing.. I've already flashed with Amit's previous CWM.. So can I overwrite it with new one.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
Rhââââ...I was just too much in a hurry, couldn't wait anymore so I came back home for lunch... Reflashed over and over again... and finally got it!

Rhââââ... I got a run on the motorway like you could'nt imagine...

I'm just back to office right now, ready for benchmarks... this I9003 drive me nuts! :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Dude you are not exception.. dont blame your self, we are in the race too..:D:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alfrix:
Success!

I did it & it works! Thanx!! :D

Quadrant went from 1100 to 1800!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] christopher2018:
after flashing the cwm, when i wanted to perform a backup, it said "can't mount /sdcard" ? did i do sth wrong? plz help
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
I know right?! The i9003 drives me wild :D :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ozorens:
Hi guys,

this is my first post and I'm newby in those flash, cwm, ext4 issues. I can flash my phone w/o problems but I can' t add ext4 support to my phone. I follow steps, fresh install of XXKPE. Download attached GT-I9003_PDA-EXT4-XXKPE.tar file at first post and flash it with Odin but I can' t open phone with cwm menu. I tried ext4 at XXKB3 too b4, I was open it with cwm and got can' t mount probs. With this rom I thought I can make now but I can' t even get in cwm menu. vol up+home and power button only opens phone. Any suggest?

p.s. if I' m asking too newby just warn me pls. Thanx. :)

p.s.2. interesting, I put my sim card in to phone and it get in cwm menu.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Successfully flashed in the first try and all i can say is that it improved the i/o of my phone.. got a 2400+ quadrant :) already pressed thanks on the first post :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Thanks Amit, well done, waiting for Ram script now:D...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
Below are my benchmark results :

Wrooooooumm!

EDIT : I had nearly the same results with AnTuTu for ext4 converted XXKB3. But it increased from 1500 to 2100 with Quadrant!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ozorens:
I did it. It shows score 1769. Thnx to who work on this and who help each others.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
after doing the ext4 installation maybe this can help

1.) Open odin and select the file in pda (nothing special to do, just open odin and select the file as PDA)

2.) It back's up everything and it will be stored in the external sd card

3.) When you flash the CWM through odin it automatically boots you to recovery mode. You should put the ext4 file first on the EXTERNAL SD CARD not the internal. And yes, restore the backed up files without rebooting the device..

hope that helps..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
@ trip

you should try several times with AnTuTu, I assume you can increase your results (unless you have 800 apps stored in your phone like Misledz :D)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jesrani:
Thanks for helping. What will be the size of the backup? I will need to keep space in the external SD card.

Will both internal memory and internal SD card be converted to EXT4?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xGiox:
when you say install you mean apply update.zip in cvm?

btw how do i make restore if i dont re boot and go to cwm? o.o
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sicmofo:
This is great news! The day for custom ROMS soon approaches!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
For me i cleaned my phone before applying the update. I did a actory reset and cleared the partition blah blah. So the bacup was around 300mb i think.. About your second question maybe the thread starter can answer that..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
1. Size of backup depends from count of installed applications, I have about 780M with about 50 installed app (but I removed stock sounds, applications and soon) Size can be till 2 ÷ 2.1G.

2. No, only internal ('system') partitions will be converted (/data, /system, /cache)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Yes update.. When you flash the cwm attached in the first post the phone reboots to recovery mode automatically.. First put the ext4 zip in external sd, go to download mode and flash the attached cwm, after flashing it will automatically go to recovery mode, do a backup, after that apply the ext4 update and then restore.. After restoring you can reboot your phone and that's it.. First boot will take a while so be patient..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
You can install the file with "apply update.zip" if you renamed ext4-format.zip in "update.zip". If not, use "install zip from sdcard".

About your second question :

You have first to flash Vivek's CWM file : http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=672090&d=1312101664

Then you can make a nandroid backup.

After that, flash the CWM file which is in Amit's fist post : http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=674376&d=1312273078

Then, apply Amit's ext4-format.zip and instead of rebooting directly, restore the backup you did with Vivek's CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] micmaccc:
guys,

mayb someone could answer this before i decide to try myself,

is there going to be problem using kies/usb connect to pc after this ext4 convert...?

thx all :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jesrani:
Thanks for the replies guys. At present my AnTuTu score is 2615, will it increase further?

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
Sorry, you gave a simpler way. But after flashing I don't think the phone automatically goes to recovery mode. You have to restart it with volume+, Menu and Power buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
No, why should there be?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jesrani:
I thought Amit's CWM file should be flashed, then reboot, backup, apply script and restore without reboot. Maybe I am wrong.

I reached 2700. It may depend on the empty space that remains in your memory phone, but anyway, each benchmark test you do with the same device shall give you some result's differences...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
See the bold part I highlighted? There's a reason that line existed :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
No you can theorically do that. I gave you those instructions cause I followed Misledz' / Vivek's ones today when i reflashed my own phone, and then only I follow Amit's ones. I was getting mad with following directly Amit's instructions, but I guess it is because i tried to apply ext4-format.zip before flashing his CWM version :o
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
Maybe I'm wrong (didn't try it), but I think you can reboot after flashing Amit's CWM. What musn't be done is rebooting after applying ext4-format.zip.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] xGiox:
i am new to all this so i do this to increase speed and performance? should have higher benchmark scores right?

EDIT:quadrant advanced results 2241(without this 1570 max)i will just say wow,but i still have problems when i run it.3D graphic is without texture idk why and i am not the only one whit this problem i player gangstar 2 and no problem with graphic.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
When I flashed the can file attached in the first post, its first boot went automatically to recovery mode. Maybe it will differ per user? :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] amit.bagaria:
Check the first post. I have updated the new version supporting Juwe11's RamScript. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
Maybe... :) I flashed only a few hours ago and I feel like I'm already forgetting what I've done
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] maverickts:
Some doubts

Guys, I'm a total n00b to android and have several queries; hoping someone will answer them ..patiently..

1) I have flashed the CWM provided earlier by Amit ( without ext4 support). And also rooted with help of the root zip provided by him.

My question is, will this create problem if I want to use the new CWM..i.e will the earlier CWM or rooting cause problems..?

2) I assume ext4 conversion means to convert the whole rom to ext4... But lately I have read a lot of posts which seems to say Gingerbread is ext4 by default..So why is this conversion needed?!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
1. No I've done it today. You have to make a nandoid backup first. After that, simply flash the CWM with ext4 support, then apply ext4format.zip, and restore the nandroid backup you did before instead of rebooting.

2. No, as far as I understood the kernel is still rfs, so converting it to ext4 will increase a lot your phone's speed. It had great effects on mine!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Wootwoot, Amit you are made of awesome sauce! RAM script in under one night :D, I had a long talk with ephraim regarding on the RAM script and how it plays a vital role in the ext4 to clear up unwanted cache that builds up with the built in wipe script.

Good part being all I need to do is just flash the PDA and voila. Tenen! RAMScriptAhLaGrande

You sir deserve a thanks, No..You deserve a thanks and an awesome thumbs up! Great Success!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
I guess amit is made of pure awesomeness. Will download the new file now part :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Aaditya2:
how can i install RamScript? whats d use of it? plz reply
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
...Aditya, It's pretty straight forward.

If you haven't flashed his CWM already, Then do so, Use the one with the RAM script. and the ext4 and follow the rest. It's just a swap of PDA files.

But if you flashed with his CWM that he uploaded a few hours ago with ext4 and you've booted up already, Then all you need to do is just reflash with the new PDA only.

It takes a little guessing game to realize PDA stands for "Must flash with Odin always".

Long story short, The phone tends to cache up and block itself with useless junk causing the RAM to stack up like a fat woman on cake. When you run games and apps they eat RAM aswell. But the Juwe's RAMscript tends to organize RAM structure in a manner that it clears the cache once in a while making free space so you can enjoy lagfree gaming/browsing/fapping.

Noticeable changes:

- Phone took only 20 seconds to boot up. Blasphemy!

- Phone feels more responsive

- Like a little boy I kept flipping pages because I was amazed on how smooth it was.

Amit. Two words. GREAT SUCCESS :D So is the next release going to be SkinnyAmit1980?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Is the Rom, Flashing and all affctng ur brains big-time o SERIOUSLY ONLY 20SECONDS?!?!?!?!??!??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Uhh, Yes. 20 seconds only. And my brain's all good tyvm.

I already flashed ext4 earlier, Then now I flashed the RAMScript+CWM. And it only took 20 secs.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kancilpintar:
Arghh, can't wait to use this. Thank you very much amit, you and several others that have work so hard have pretty much restored life to our device. Awesome work guys. I can't thank you all enough.

Hope that I will receive my new SD card tomorrow as my current one might be not enough to contain the backup size :p

Looking forward to test this! :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] stpsp:
plz how did you do to activate the RAMScript ???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jit_devil2:
i already converted to ext4.now if i flash the ram script cwm do i have to convert again?

and the ram script will already be installed when i flash the cwm with ram script support right?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
You only need to flash the PDA at this point. I hope so. I'll attach quadrant scores.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
@Misledz,

Whats the amt of free RAM? With my setup I have 170MB.

Edit

After some time RAM is 205MB.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
On a cleared : 201 MB

After recaching : 167 MB o.o

Seems alot better compared to 75 MB I used to get. 100 MB makes quite the diff :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jit_devil2:
getting in around 2700 in antutu.................. highest in 3 runs 2784

:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Awesome!!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Differ's per user. I have alot of **** running on my phone so I'm not really surprised. Ideal recording would be with all your apps and everything on it. That would really put the stress test on your phone's performance.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mitoVonDido:
In amit version, the old bugs still exists.. Phone got infinite loading circle during turnoff recharge n long press power button during that time give kernel panic..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Yeah I know what you mean. The charge battery animation. Happened to me aswell last night. Not a biggie cause I just turned the phone on and left it to charge
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cRainin:
T_T...i say backup,cwm say no...

cwm shows:can't mount /sdcard(i'm sure the external sdcard is in)

and i choose "install zip from sdcard---choose zip from sdcard"...cwm say can't~

that is to say..my sdcard do not work in cwm....lol

ps:the same question in the previous version~~
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] maverickts:
Another Q.. About the 'nandroid' backup..is that the backup option shown in CWM? Or do I have to install something else to make this backup?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Are you rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
It's the backup show in cwm..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] amit.bagaria:
Okay. I have fixed this issue and will upload this new version later in the day.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cRainin:
of course...i can't stand a phone without root~

i just do the deodex and root~~so...what should i do next?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skin1980:
I have found some time free time in this morning (half hour :p)so i built the working KPE version. Check in the CWM thread.

Changelog:

- USB Mass Storage while in CWM work;

- POWER OFF Charging mode work;

Thanks amit for your work!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
like always I say u r awsome bro...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] orcunece:
Great work Skin thank you.

Does it include RamScript? I mean this is the file right? (GT-I9003_PDA-KPE-EXT4-BATTERY-FIX.tar)

Again, thank you very much.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cRainin:
...i find it...

i change the sdcard to fat~

but my friend can use the backup with a fat32 sdcard....what the f..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mitoVonDido:
guys, is it safe to apply skin's latest version(GT-I9003_PDA-KPE-EXT4-BATTERY-FIX.tar)over amit's version..should i flash only PDA or need to redo all the steps?

answer: i've done it..its truly safe..

just flashed PDA with skin's file in recovery mode..

ramscript also included =)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Huh? Only amit has released the latest for XXKPE, I don't remember Skin releasing one, Skin covered the entire FROYO series and XXKP9, amit carried on from the XXKP9 and led the final version to XXKPE. So I don't really know what your talking about
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mitoVonDido:
Are u sure misledz.. Try check this thread or skin cwm thread.. :-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
I take that back :D I was carried away LOL. I leave for 6hours and a miracle happens. Thanks for the update chief I didn't see his thread being updated.

Things are currently going a little fast, I must admit.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kancilpintar:
I have installed Skin's latest CWM. Not sure whether ramscript is included or not in Skin's version. How can I check?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
At this rate I can't even go to the bathroom without refreshing the page just to see what has happened while I'm away. I hope CYGN is not far away. Would make things ALOT easier for our phone. Infact would mean we crossed the checkpoint for our phone and hopefully the start of more cooked roms.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
You could check by the RAM usage. Preferably Go Launcher EX's Task Manager widget. If you have 171 MB~210 MB Free RAM *210 being when you clear cache*. Then yes it's there. Without the RAM Script you would get only 65~71 MB Free RAM.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Pralinos:
Wow ... much impressive! Right now i'm going back home once again during lunch time (you know, driving like a fool on the motorway...) because I crashed my phone yesterday and I have to reinstall everything. I hope there will be an answer to this question in the next 20 minutes so that I flash skin's CWM update when i arrive :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kancilpintar:
Can't confirm it as my phone always has a high amount of free RAM (around 150 MB - 170 MB before CWM). After I installed CWM it is still around that amount, only a bit higher (170 MB+).

One more thing is that I found that after installing CWM the battery drain a bit faster (don't know whether its just me but it looks like that to me).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Your actually right. When I flashed the normalboot.img I had almost 2 days worth of battery. But now I feel like I'm back to XXKB3 days where the battery would drain under a day. I didn't mention it since I thought It was normal. I tried clearing the battery calibration in hopes It will properly recalibrate again but not much luck.

Also I've mentioned before that I use heavy apps and tripin helped vouch last night that we've gotten around that benchmark of free RAM compared to how much the stock allowed us.

@Pralinos Drive safe bro! Without you, Miracles on your phone won't happen :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kancilpintar:
Seems like my feeling is correct :p . Any idea why this happen? Some kind of bug? Hope it can be corrected though.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
I can't flash back to normalboot.img and risk the ext and RAM script. It's a small sacrifice. I think this is the side effect for having the phone turn from a grandpa to a blazing fast grandpa with hotrods, Probably the boost causes this, I have a feeling Samsung knew something like this would happen hence why they extended the battery life specifically for this phone. Phone still takes long to charge. 3 Hrs just to charge it to 100%, In 12 HR usage it drops down to 22% compared to before where even on 12 HR usage it was only 54%
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kancilpintar:
So now we need to sacrifice a little to have a blazing fast grandpa with hotrods on our phone :p . Will try to monitor the battery life further and see how it goes.

I flashed with PDA

I boot into recovery

I made Backup

I didn't apply the zip file.

what 2 do next ???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
Apply the ext4, Restore backup and reboot. I doubt you need the command you typed above unless you have some other reason.

2.) Open Odin and click on the PDA button and Select GT-I9003_PDA-EXT4-RAMSCRIPT-XXKPE.tar

3.) click Start (After this Phone Reboots)

4.) after booting copy the ext4-format.zip to the External SD card

5.) power off the phone.Then boot into recovery Mode (vol Up + Ok button + Power button)

6.) Choose backup & restore press OK then choose Backup

7.)After Backup is complete press Back button and you will be in the main menu.Then click on mounts and storage and then choose mount /system and press OK button

14.) Enjoy :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] micmaccc:
is step no.7 really necessary? bcoz i didn't apply it...but everything is working i guess :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vivekkalady:
Its Risk Free Installation :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] lockmunk:
sorry to ask u all...what is function of CWM??can somebody explain to me?sorry im noob n very newbie to android
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
Are you sure you are using ext4 filesystem? connect with adb shell and type 'mount'. Will it show you ext4 partitions?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigeyes0x0:
AFAIK, mount /system is only needed when installing CWM zip for certain cases (like rooting). I didn't do step 7 when I convert to ext4, everything's fine.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
Oh yes! you are right! It's just formatting partitions and /system should be unmounted :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] maverickts:
darnit..I did mount the system position cuz I thought that was required for installing all zip packages through cwm. So would this have created any problem?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] spacebar2011:
Should not be an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] edmund101:
I followed your step but when until step 6.. i cant backup geting the error "can't mount /sdcard ".. i still dnt understand wat happen at all.. zzz hlp.. T_T

why the cwm still shows "can't mount /sdcard"? Please Help!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sicmofo:
I cant seem to boot into cwm recovery mode. When I press the three button combination i get "POWER RESET/UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE"

Ive already flashed the attached ext4-ramscript pda and rooted after.

any suggestions would be much appreciated

Edit: Got it. Just disabled USB debugging mode :D

2nd edit: Great Success! :D

btw does this mean that the ramscipt is already installed and active within my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] maverickts:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] manrock111:
just for feedback..

backup and restore work perfect, i have done it two times

Just one minor problem, unable to use usb storage in cwm

and yes please tell me u have write

So i have flashed latest file of your's it means it already has RAmscript or do i have to follow step to add ramscript?

If I have already installed cwm of sir skin.. is it ok to flash again with Amit cwm?
